A bride's flight from Virginia City, Montana

the long version

It's an ordinary day on the range when Zephaniah Parker, owner of the Bar Zee Ranch, finds two children alone and cowering in fear. Cheyene and Cody Wyoming had managed to evade a massacre by the vicious Raber Gang, led by Seraphim Raber, aka the Angel of Death. But now the children and other inhabitants of soutwest Montana aren't safe. Blue Meadows' rancher Charlene Spence is determined to see the children out of harm's way and back among their Amish relatives of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. But she needs Zeph's help and the two begin a long journey east in which they find their relationship deepening. Will they keep their heads, hearts, and lives together long enough to see the journey through?
